South Park Goes Too Far?*

*Like, actually for real this time?

Could it be?:

The boys of "South Park" spend much of the episode struggling to come to grips with the raping of Indiana Jones. In its rave review of the episode, IGN wrote that "South Park" went "beyond offensive and into some sort of hyper-offensive stratosphere," all of it hilarious.

And in typical South Park fashion...

Indeed, each scene builds upon the other, with Spielberg and Lucas eventually becoming two rednecks in the woods who demand Indy "squeal like a pig" as the pair humiliates and degrades a cinematic icon. A Stormtrooper gets it even worse, prompting the "South Park" police to lock up the directors to prevent such travesties from happening again.

Who's surprised?

Not that anyone didn't see this coming. Parker and Stone tried to warn Spielberg and Lucas from even making a fourth "Indiana Jones" flick. Back in 2002, the series took the two to task for re-editing their films for the worse, hoping to prevent a ruining of "Raiders of the Lost Ark."

  • I watched this episode on wednesday and thought that a. this was hilarious and b. Lucas and Spielberg are going to flip. This same episode also pulls a few jokes that asians would find offensive, but not as crazy as the Spielberg and Lucas bash. It is a good metaphor though, Spielberg and especially Lucas screw their works and can't leave them alone.

  • "Do you... remember that scene with Indy in the refrigerator?... It... it didn't make any sense, Stan..." I loved this episode. On par with the homeless Night of the Living Dead parody. Looks like this season is gonna be good.
